Hard callus or cornlike black growths on cats paws

[Barbara]

Hard corn or callus-like black growths on my cats paws. Has anyone heard of these growths? I would appreciate any info about these growths. thanks, Barb

Are they actually on the paw pads themselves or growths outside of the paws, between the digits, above/below/between the digits, etc? What is the skin pigmentation color of your cats paw pads?

If you are uncertain about this and this is the first time you've noticed them, best to have your vet check.

her paws are black with white little cracks all over her paws. Some of her her finger and toe paws are white and they also get white callouses on them which also I can tear off with some discomfort to her. she is and outdoor cat in the summer but really not alot of time spent out there. Some I'm kind of baffled at these findings on her. probably every couple of months their big enough to take them of her paws. Thank you for replying so quickly, I appreciate the help.
